My sweet Wal-Mart deal!

I know this thread will soon get buried among the "Just Found" posts, but what the heck.

I just got the 12" Zuckuss, Dengar, and Imperial Officer for FIVE BUCKS APIECE!!! Yahoo!

They had marked down the 12" AOTC figures (all they had left were Zam, Super Battle Buick, and a lone Clone Trooper) to $10 each. Putting on my best "clueless" face, I asked the toy dept. manager why they weren't all marked down, since they had 2 Officers, 1 Dengs and 1 Zuckuss, too, but they were scanning full price.

They also had, incredibly, FOUR POTJ TIE Bombers @$15 each, and 4 corresponding Snowspeeders. But I already have a Bomber, so I passed. I also passed on the $10 Jedi Starfighter, though I don't have one yet. And all their Saga 3 3/4" figures were in one of those big wire bins for a buck apiece.

I can't believe my luck. The deals right now are sweeeet. And the Slave-1 is an incredible ship!!!

Does your Wal-Mart still have the POTJ Tie-Bombers and Snowspeeders or were they snatched up by scalpers already?

I'm assuming they're still there. Heck, as dusty and shelf-worn as the boxes were, they've probably been in that same store since April. But at $15 each, I don't know. It's about an hour away, so I can't drop by and check. I should have picked a couple up for trade here on SSG, but in my elation with my other bargains I wasn't thinking clearly...

Not many Star Wars scalpers out in the boon-docks here in Mississippi. I can't imagine how hard it must be to find stuff in major metropolitan areas.

After reading about the deals at Wal-Mart, I ran to the one nearest my place. I didn't find any deals on 12" figures, even though they had them with the rest of the clearance items. I did get Lukes electric lightsaber, originally $30, for just $10. I also picked up a few of the Lego sets that they had for reasonable prices.

A year or two ago, I was working at Wal-Mart when they marked all the 3 3/4" figures to just $1. The thing was, when they got the newer figures in, they were ringing up a just $1. I bought 2 of each, and left some for the remainder of those lucky enough to get there. The next day the rest of the figures were all gone.

Yeah, I only saw the POTJ Tie-Bomber once (in a TRU of all places). They had 4, but I didn't have the $30 at the time so I passed. Big mistake. I never did see the Snowspeeder but I liked how it was packaged -- sort of buried in the snow.

If you are still able to get your hands on them, I'd see if we could make some kind of deal/sale/trade. No pressure either way as an hour drive is a long way just to see if something is still in stock. Heck, that's how long I drive to my local comic book store so I only go once a month.

It is nice to see that there is still hope of finding some of the rarer POTJ stuff outside of the secondary market.
